If damaged replace

immediately. 9 Ensure replacement stone is not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters. Also check the mounting flanges

to ensure they are not deformed, burred or chipped. Damaged items must NOT be used as they may cause irregular pressure on the stone which may cause a stone to break.

8 DO NOT over tighten a stone. Never tamper with a stone in order to adapt it to a different size holder. 9 Install a new stone as in 5.2. Once mounted on the grinder test the stone before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point

away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and operate for a short time. Dress the stone if necessary. 5.2. STONE CHANGING PROCEDURE

Should you not have any available when you need to replace them, cut out a piece of suitable cardboard the same shape for temporary use only. 5.2.8. Install the new stone by reversing steps above. Ensure washers (2 & 6) are installed with the flange on the outside, (i.e. the concave side against the blotter). 5.2.9. Hold stone steady and secure locking nut.
